Hey! Sorry about that, I just wanted to get his opinion too. For the PSU, I still prefer Corsair's warranty though. Would you know of any cheaper case with good airflow that could replace the Meshify C?

The monitor is about at the same price new unfortunately. For the 2060, I read that it was a better value, but I guess I could get a 1660 Super. I chose another motherboard, which made the price go down about 100$.

I streched the budget a bit, but do you think there's anywhere I could cut a bit? The monitor Herman suggested is out of stock and I don't really trust the Cougar PSU.

@wall03 Great, so would you suggest any changes to this list then?
-
Hahaha it's a bit overkill but I have 3TB of NVME storage on my own rig. I mostly got them to not have to deal with SATA wiring. Do you guys think my friend should wait for B550?
-
Hahahha great, thanks! I'm in the same timezone as you are (Montreal, Canada)
-
@Bananas! @wall03 Perfect! Would you guys have a parts list in mind?
-
Budget (including currency): $1000-1500 CAD Country: Canada Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: League of Legends, Maplestory Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Hi guys! My friend wants to get into PC gaming and would like to build his own tower. He need a monitor (1080p high refresh rate preferably) and peripherals, but not headphones. I was thinking of waiting for B550 to come out, but could you help me with the rest? Probably a 1660 Super or Ti for the GPU. Thanks!
-
Hey guys! Just built my first PC and was looking for peripherals. I was thinking of getting the G502 HERO as a mouse and a keyboard with Cherry Brown switches after reading up about the different switches online. Would anyone here have any recommendations for a good keyboard? I was looking at the Corsair K70 MK2 on Amazon which is on sale for 189.99$ in Canada, but I would like to know about any alternatives that are either better or cheaper.
-
Oh also, @Shooterdude34 or anyone else, would you have a recommendation for an AIO or an air cooler for possible overclocking in the future? Can I overclock a bit with the stock cooler?
-
Yeah, I thought that as well and saw it on sale, so I went for the 650W.
-
Thanks for the suggestion! I was thinking of getting this one: https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/10414771 Any thoughts on it?
-
Regarding the power supply, do I need 650W or will 550W be enough? Looking at the part picker list below, PcPartPicker only expects a power usage of 374W. I know we need to have a little cushion, but is it worth it to pay the extra 35$ for 100W?
-
Ohh I meant an Ultrawide, sorry about that. But perfect, I'll go with the Asus one then.
-
Thanks for the lists guys! I've read that the MSI X570 mobos should be avoided and that the Asus ones were better. Is that correct? Also, do you have any recommendations for a good 1440p curved display?
